Jaywon went on to clinch the Best New Artist award at the Nigerian Music Video Awards in 2009 for his song, 'Filebe'. He released 'Odun Yi (This Year) in December 2012, and it has become his signature song.

Jaywon left Kennis Music in 2013, after recording two albums with the label: Meet with Jaywon and Odun Yi. He started his own label, Next World Music, and released his third studio album, Oba Orin (King of Songs) in April 2016. He was awarded the “Best Indigenous Act” at the 2016 ACIA Awards in Atlanta, United States.
